  1. Congrats to those who got in! I, for my part, have now been shut out.
  2. Well, no Princeton for me. Harvard or Berkeley or I'm out of the running.
  3. Unless Princeton decides to accept me suddenly, I think I'm done with the Academic game. I admit that I am quite disappointed, but that's life.
  4. I like that FOURTY THREE people are currently reading this topic. Well, 43 people, I am going frigging insane at the prospect of being shut out. Any suggestions for what type of job I should try to get when academia doesn't work out? I'm thinking some sort of businessy thing maybe. Or do I need an MBA for that?
  5. I disagree. While you should decline offers from places that you will not reasonably accept, do not decline all non first choices until you visit. You may find that the person you want to work with is intolerable, or that you don't like the environment, or a host of other things.
  6. Perhaps I misunderstood, but I can assure you that very few philosophy departments in the English speaking world (by ratio) study Asian philosophy. In the departments that do have someone working on the topic, their numbers are few. In religion depts, I think it's common though.
  7. Called Kelly. "I was wondering if all the decisions were out" "No, they're not, they'll be out by the end of Februrary."
  8. They want to make sure that you can pass the required courses. Also, what kind of theory do you do? I assume some Aristotle?
  9. Well, I'm thinking I'm not getting in anywhere. Oh well. C'est la vie.
  10. I guess that means all us theorists who applied to Cal are out? I loved you Kinch Hoekstra and you treat me like this?
